I didn't get any error message. When calling the function from PGAdmin I get
********error**********.
When I try to re-execute it, it says 'no connection to the server'. When checked the logs I found

It only crashes when calling the first stated get_mac. If I use any other logic inside the function it works fine. May be problem occurs when using hardware related methods.

When I restart the server manually, there is nothing about the problem.

Normal python functions returning text etc. are working but when conatining

You still haven't supplied the error message you get when you run this.

In the absence of better information, my guess would be that python's uuid module uses ossp-uuid, same as PostgreSQL does, but a different version or one compiled differently. The PostgreSQL `bin' dir with the postgresql version of the DLL will be in the path before the Python one, so Python is calling into a different version of the DLL than it expects and probably crashing as a result.

That would be consistent with it working from the python command line.

To work around this, I'd either use the ossp-uuid functions via the SPI rather than using the Python UUID module, or I'd remove the OSSP-UUID dll from the postgresql directory. You can certainly try that to see if it helps.

This is one of the joys you get with Windows software not being managed by a central packaging system. Everyone bundles their own versions of all the dependencies, leaving messes like this where two DLLs with the same name aren't quite compatible. Yay!
